Let’s Talk about this academic year with X and the Rector Magnificus

The final episode of the first season of the Let’s talk about X podcast! Pepijn Kooij and Iris Damen from X TU Delft take this opportunity to talk with the ‘CEO’ of the TU Delft, the Rector Magnificus Tim van der Hagen, to reflect on last year and predict next year.

The last one and a half year were very odd and unusual, which we clearly all noticed as students. It was however not only tough for us, but also the board of the TU Delft (CvB), since they had to make tough decisions. X has invited a very special guest to their podcast this time, Tim van der Hagen, Rector Magnificus of the TU Delft. Iris and Pepijn will talk with him about the decisions he had to make during the pandemic and how he witnessed this strange year. How did he experience last year? What was the hardest to do? TU Delft also started certain projects regarding the pandemic, like the construction of relatively cheap respiratory devices. How did these projects start?

Of course, they will take a look at the future as well. What are the predictions for next year, what kind of changes will remain? Listen to the final episode of the Let’s Talk about X podcast of this season and stay tuned for next year! If you have any topics or interesting guests in mind for an episode, please let X know!
